Chapter 121: War supplies and expanding power!
"The Inspector Assessment for Xinhuo Sanctuary City doesn't actually require human intervention and review?"
His eyes swept over the words on the screen again, and Cheng Ye's heart beat inexplicably faster, realizing the value of the four-piece set.
This is simply pie in the sky.
Compared to Xingfucheng's apprenticeship promotion process that requires layers of practical assessments, Xinhuo's assessment is ridiculously simple.
It’s like a math problem, right is right, wrong is wrong, and the answer is clearly written on the surface.
Unlike Xingfu City, in addition to meeting the business standards, you also have to learn to take sides, deal with human relationships, and even "pay back" to your parents.
"Well, from this perspective, after Xinhuo's promotion, I'm afraid he will be more inclined towards the authority I want, rather than being directly linked to actual power."
Cheng Ye stroked his chin, quietly thinking about the pros and cons of this approach.
The easier it is to quantify and meet standards for something, the more ordinary its value tends to be.
Even in the city of Happiness, the delegation of power is done with extreme caution.
Given the size and system of Xinhuo Shelter City, it will certainly not tolerate such a simple expansion of power.
To put it bluntly, this set of assessment standards for inspectors is almost the same as the assessment standards for ordinary agencies in Xingfu City.
It's more like training employees who follow procedures rather than independent decision makers.
"If we're only screening employees, the requirements won't be too harsh. These three are really simpler than the last."
Cheng Ye couldn't help but whisper to himself.
Energy response greater than 35?
When he boarded the flying wing before, Li Changfeng said that his energy reaction was 35, so he should have met the standard.
Shoot 5,000 certifications? Just rely on time. Shoot 500 a day and you can get it done in ten days!
The only slightly challenging part was memorizing the internship materials, but this was exactly what Cheng Ye was most interested in.
Under different systems, Xinhuo's requirements for inspectors are definitely different, and the information hidden in the data is the capital for survival in the wasteland.
"I feel like I'll be able to complete the apprenticeship assessment in no more than half a month!"
Cheng Ye was secretly excited.
I didn't expect such an unexpected surprise.
There is no need to bother with cracking, just complete the task to unlock the permissions, which saves a lot of effort.
As for whether there will be manual assessments during future upgrades?
When the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. First, try to upgrade to the highest level possible.
Thinking of this, he picked up the "weighing scale"-like detector and started operating it according to the instructions on his mobile phone.
Although the patch harness is densely packed, each patch is marked with a number, corresponding to the body parts marked on the mobile phone, such as wrist, chest, and thigh. It feels cool when applied, which is very comfortable.
After sticking the patch on, Cheng Ye clicked "Start Detection" on his mobile phone, and a tingling electric current suddenly rushed into his body from the patch, like countless tiny ants crawling on it.
He subconsciously tensed his muscles to resist, and the numbers on the screen immediately jumped:
【twenty one】
"not enough."
Cheng Ye gritted his teeth and suddenly summoned the strength in his body. The blood vessels in his arms instantly bulged out, like green earthworms crawling under his skin.
The numbers on the screen climbed wildly:
24, 27, 30, 35, and finally got stuck at 37. No matter how hard he tried, he could hardly move forward.
"It's done!"
As he breathed a sigh of relief, his tense muscles suddenly relaxed and the tingling electric current disappeared without a trace.
However, before he could tear off the patches, those patches that were close to his skin suddenly began to heat up, especially the patches on important parts. The temperature kept getting higher and higher, making his eyebrows twitch.
【Talent Testing】
A prompt pops up on the screen.
Cheng Ye raised his eyebrows but didn't take it off in a hurry.
This level of heat is still tolerable. I want to see what other tricks this Xinhuo detector has.
Different from energy detection which emphasizes efficiency, users may need to test frequently, so the speed must be fast.
Talent testing is obviously different. A person may only take the test once or twice in his or her lifetime, so it is naturally done extremely carefully and slowly.
After more than ten minutes, the hot patches gradually cooled down, but before Cheng Ye could breathe a sigh of relief, another batch of patches began to heat up again.
This time the heat was more concentrated, almost entirely in the chest area.
What made his face change was that as the temperature rose, the wild grass totem on his chest appeared without any warning, and light green lines moved on his skin, wriggling gently as if they had life.
The next second, the heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and fine beads of sweat appeared on the surface of the body, as if stimulated by some force, causing a strong stress response.
[Physical talent detected, talent level being calculated]
So strong!
Cheng Ye was a little shocked that Xinhuo actually had this kind of detection method, so he let the detector continue working.
Another dozen minutes passed, and when the last patch cooled, detailed data finally popped up on the screen:
【Physical Talent: Excellent】
[Reaction Intensity: 7]
[Expected maximum increase: 11]
[Upgrade method: Lock (please unlock level 2 or higher permissions to view)]
[Expected evolution direction: locked (please unlock level 4 or above to view)]
"Talent can actually improve and evolve on its own?"
Cheng Ye was stunned.
He had always assumed that the talents awakened by humans in the wasteland era were innate. For example, Dai Zun's iron body talent was the result of a genetic "lottery."
This is also described in many related books. The aftermath of the last extraordinary era stirred the gene pool, and humans completed a leap-forward transformation in eighty years. This is why there is a huge difference between the wastelanders and the people of the old era.
Otherwise, such a divisive evolution would never have occurred in just three generations.
However, the information we have now seems to be pointing in another direction.
Humans' talents in the wasteland are not entirely predetermined by nature, but are there opportunities for them to change?
This is worth pondering.
Cheng Ye thought about it and tore off the patch on his body.
With the detector, it will be easier to know the changes in strength brought about by each skill.
It is much more intuitive than the previous measurement using nutrient paste.
"Well, it was 35 before. Camel stamina should have given me 2 points. The effect is not bad."
When he was blanching beef, he had already equipped it with this Lv1 talent he had found.
At that time, I just felt more energetic, but I didn't expect the specific value to increase so much.
2 points of energy reaction is equivalent to an improvement of nearly 5%, which is quite considerable for a Lv1 skill.
Because now a search only requires 20% of the charge value, and there is no probability of failure, it is a sure-win business.
If you can charge and search every day, your strength will double in four days.
Of course, this is an idealized result.
Simply piling up numbers will definitely become more difficult as time goes on, and will only slow down the accumulation of information.
If you want to make a qualitative leap and get promoted as quickly as possible, you must search for advanced skills and extraordinary abilities!
"Sleep. Once the migrants arrive, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep comfortably again for ten days or half a month."
Cheng Ye shook his head, put these thoughts aside for the time being, and dived into bed.
The tip of my nose was filled with a mixture of cotton wool and a faint musty smell, but it was strangely reassuring.
I don’t know whether those suggestions are useful or not, but if they are really adopted, there should be news tomorrow.
Because the refugees will arrive at the latest the day after tomorrow, there is no extra time for Xingfu City to think.
In this process, whether the checkpoint can get a share of the benefits depends on the game played by the stationmaster Ding Yishan.
The inspectors below, after all, only have the job to do and have no right to fight for any power.
No words were spoken that night.
Since the end of the substitute starfish incident, Happy City has fallen into a long-lost tranquility.
After the tension and noise of the past faded away, it looks like a peaceful border town.
At 5:30 in the morning, the alarm clock rang.
Normally, I don’t have to get up so early since I don’t have to go to work until 7 o’clock.
But the collector was used up to 20% yesterday, and without any charging stations to replenish it, it only recovered to 8% after a day.
There is still a 12% gap, which needs to be replenished at the parking lot of the Public Works Department, which only takes about half an hour.
Cheng Ye yawned deeply, turned over and got up, first checking the download progress of Xinhuotong.
It took more than 7 hours to download only 4%, which is as slow as a snail.
"At this rate, it seems to take more than 144 hours."
He smacked his lips, pulled out the charging cable, put his phone in his backpack, and went to wash up in his slippers.
The temperature seems to be getting colder.
The pipes were frozen, with only a trickle of water coming from the faucets.
The moment the cold water splashed on my face, all the remaining sleepiness was dispelled.
Cheng Ye stood by the window and stretched lazily. The cool morning light came over him, and for a moment he felt comfortable all over.
When I went downstairs and out of the community, Master Zhang was already waiting at the door in a bus.
The headlights of the cars were emitting a dim light in the morning mist. The streets were deserted, with only the cold wind howling, making the trees along the road rustle.
"Go to the Public Works Department parking lot."
"Okay."
Master Zhang responded and turned the key to start the car.
When we arrived at the parking lot, there were already nine cars parked overnight, with six spaces left.
Cheng Ye casually pointed to a spot near the inside, instructed Master Zhang to reverse and park the car, then took the charging card and got out of the car with familiarity.
Wait until Master Zhang goes to the lounge to wash up.
Insert the gun, swipe the card, confirm charging, all in one smooth action.
However, even if Master Zhang didn't see it, he could find the abnormality by checking the battery level.
But this kind of thing seems strange no matter how you explain it.
Cheng Ye simply omitted all the words. As long as he didn't speak, there would never be a need to "explain".
On the contrary, taking the initiative to defend yourself will only make things unnecessary and lead to more questions.
It was past six twenty.
The panel pops up, the battery is fully charged, and the bright green progress bar stops steadily at 100%. The full charging value makes people feel at ease.
After taking a look at the defense communication, Cheng Ye suddenly had a strong premonition that if Liu Kun had not changed his mind, he would definitely find a way to leave or enter the city today.
After all, once the migrants arrive, the pressure on the checkpoints will increase sharply and the inspections will only become stricter.
At that time, it would be much more difficult to hide your identity and enter without being discovered.
Moreover, Liu Kun is a member of the senior management of Xingfu City. He will definitely be busier in the future and will not have time to leave Xingfu City.
"Let's go to the checkpoint."
Cheng Ye pulled out the charging gun, and the bus drove out of the parking lot and arrived at the checkpoint entrance on time at 6:40.
Compared to yesterday's lateness, I arrived twenty minutes earlier today.
But as soon as he got off the car, Cheng Ye was shocked by the scene in front of him. There were more than 20 6.8-meter medium-sized trucks parked neatly in front of the South Checkpoint.
Workers wearing the uniforms of the Public Works Department were unloading the goods with the guards. Boxes of things were being carried down and piled up on the open space like a small mountain.
"This is?"
He couldn't help but walk over and his eyes fell on the open box.
The box contains nutrient paste, but the packaging is completely different from the common transparent bags on the market. It comes in three colors: yellow, blue and black.
After staying in Xingfu City for so long, this was the first time Cheng Ye had seen this kind of nutrient paste in colorful packaging.
"Good morning, Inspector Cheng!"
A familiar guard saw him coming and explained with a smile, "These are combat-grade nutrient solutions. The station commander gave orders last night to stockpile enough for all three checkpoints."
He pointed at the bags of different colors and said, "The yellow ones are for quick stamina boosting. They're effective immediately. The blue ones are for energy boosting. They're great for staying out for a long time. The black ones are the most powerful. They can boost your athletic performance in a short period of time, but they're so strong that you might experience side effects."
"There's this kind?"
Cheng Ye raised his eyebrows, picked up a bag of yellow nutrient paste and weighed it.
The bag is much thicker than ordinary nutrient paste and feels hard when squeezed, like a sealed compressed biscuit.
He shook the bag, and the slurry inside hardly moved, obviously the concentration was not low.
"Can I drink a bag to taste it?"
"You can drink as much as you want!" The guard smiled even more enthusiastically. "Starting today, each inspector will have a daily quota of 100 packets of these three nutrient solutions. If you need any, just tell the station staff and they'll deliver them directly to your designated location."
Good job.
Before the troops move, the food and supplies must be sent first.
Cheng Ye's heart moved slightly. It seemed that the suggestions he put forward yesterday might not have all fallen on deaf ears.
With Ding Yishan's reaction speed, is he really going to take action?
When the seal of the yellow bag was torn open, a faint sweet fragrance immediately wafted out. The paste inside was as thick as melted toffee, and it was not at all the thin and watery kind of ordinary nutrient paste.
It has a sweet osmanthus fragrance when chewed, which is sweet but not greasy. You won’t feel it irritating your throat after drinking a bag.
After the paste goes into the stomach, within half a minute, a gentle warm current spreads from the stomach, and the coolness of standing in the morning breeze is immediately swept away.
Not bad, good stuff!
Cheng Ye's eyes lit up. What he lacked most now was something to quickly replenish his physical strength.
It is not only necessary for duty, but also because if extraordinary skills are found from Liu Kun, who knows how much energy will be consumed.
It’s great to have this yellow bag nutrient paste now, which can greatly reduce the dependence on ordinary nutrient paste.
"Besides the nutrient paste, is there anything else?"
"have!"
The guard immediately pulled out a printed list from a box nearby and handed it over. "Each inspector can receive their share of the supplies listed here. Please take a look."
Cheng Ye took it and flipped through it, then was stunned.
There are fifty items listed on the first page alone, ranging from reinforced protective gloves, stab-proof boots, multi-functional helmets, to portable detectors, emergency lighting sticks, medical kits, and even compressed biscuits, energy bars, sleeping bags, water purification tablets, etc.
After flipping through three pages, there were nearly 150 items, covering almost all the equipment needed for field work.
"This means they've taken out all the money at the checkpoint?"
Cheng Ye couldn't help but be amazed.
When it came to the contract, he had thought about making a profit for the checkpoint and letting the inspectors share some of the power.
But as soon as this thought came to his mind, he suppressed it.
Why?
Because his identity was so awkward. For a trainee inspector who had just joined the job, being able to identify the problem of migrant diversion and propose an optimization plan was already quite remarkable.
But it would be strange if he jumped out to worry about the overall situation of the checkpoint and think about how to fight for power and benefits for the entire department.
These are things that the stationmaster should consider at this level. At the very least, it will be the turn of the senior inspectors from the fifth and fourth phases to think about them.
They are looking forward to promotion and have their eyes on the position of stationmaster, so they will naturally rack their brains to gain benefits for the checkpoint in order to accumulate their own capital.
But he is just an intern, he takes care of his job, doesn't make any mistakes, and thinks about the overall situation of Xingfu City. This is excellent enough to deserve full marks.
Being too jumpy can only lead to trouble.
But now it seems that Ding Yishan has obviously made the choice to take advantage of the migration to expand the power of the checkpoint.
I just don’t know whether the senior management of Xingfu City will agree with his choice.
After all, once the inspectors get involved in the contracting, they will have the actual power to manage the area. With the help of public opinion brought by the migrants, their power will expand like a snowball.
It is easy to give it, but it is difficult for the top management to take it back.
"Inspector Cheng?" The guard next to him, noticing he hadn't moved for a long time, staring blankly at the list, offered, "If you can't decide what you need, I'll have one of each item delivered to your quarantine area in the lowest available quantity. You can decide which one you like and give us your instructions later, okay?"
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Cheng Ye came back to his senses and nodded slightly.
If the inspectors really want to get involved in the lump-sum contracting, these supplies will probably have to wait ten days or half a month until the resettlement of the migrants is on track before they can be truly put to use.
There is no rush for now.
He handed the list back to the guard and turned to walk towards the checkpoint office building.
However, after taking only two steps, when the corner of his eye swept towards the stationmaster's building, a direct gaze suddenly met his gaze.
In the corridor on the fifth floor, a figure was standing there quietly, his eyes fixed on him.
Cheng Ye looked up subconsciously.
The moment their eyes met, the smile on his face shrank almost imperceptibly.
Strange.
No one expected that this face was firmly imprinted in the memory of the previous life.
He appeared again, unexpectedly in such an occasion.
And in response to his gaze, the owner of that face actually nodded slightly and smiled.
Hey, still laughing!
Cheng Ye paused for half a second, and the smile on his face reappeared, even more intense than before.
Since Ding Yishan is willing to show up, it means that he has fully recognized the stepping stone he handed over last night.
Are you planning to test me face to face?
Cheng Ye was slightly moved and walked towards the office building slowly, but his mind started to think frantically again.
Under normal circumstances, facing an old fox like Ding Yishan, he would definitely choose to retreat and wait for Ding Yishan to take the initiative.
But now it's different.
If the checkpoint really wants to intervene in the migration, the following conversation may directly determine his position in this mess!
Should he continue to be a marginal trainee inspector, or gain some powers beyond the traineeship?
"You're taking this opportunity to test my ambition?"
"But what you revealed just revealed your own ambitions."
Walking to the inside of the doorway, just out of Ding Yishan's sight, Cheng Ye put away his smile, and a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes.
It has to be said that compared to the "straightforward" Harlem, he has begun to like Ding Yishan a little.
Be aware of your own choices and ask questions with the answers in mind. As long as you realize this, the questions will almost be easy to get points.
But it is precisely these easy-to-get-point questions that appear more difficult and test the subsequent answers more.
But to be honest, dealing with this old fox who abides by the rules really makes people feel the excitement of meeting a worthy opponent!
and
Only when this kind of person sits in the position of webmaster will the people below have the opportunity to truly demonstrate their abilities.
If Harlem had taken over, the situation would probably be completely different.
